Single Trip Travel Insurance

The most basic type of travel insurance is the single trip travel insurance policy. This policy type is designed to cover travelers during one trip, for a specified period of time, sometimes even more than one year, depending on the coverage chosen. Single trip travel insurance can be purchased for one or more travelers up to the age of 84.

The most important two aspects of single trip travel insurance is the period of coverage and type of coverage. The period of coverage generally depends on the type of policy you choose to purchase, ranging from 5 days to even 15 months in some cases.The type of policy you choose will determine the extent of protection the insurance provider will cover. If you choose to purchase a more comprehensive policy type instead of a regular one, the coverage will be better but the premiums will also increase.

Each travel insurance policy will come with a list of coverage sections. Each section includes different situations that are covered by the insurance policy. For example, all travel insurance policies provide medical coverage, which includes emergency medical repatriations, dental treatment and hospital confinement benefits. All of these situations have a maximum insured sum that the insurer agrees to support, depending on how much you choose to spend.

Single trip travel insurance can cover travelers of all ages, up to the age of 84. This includes infants, children adults and seniors. However, not all policy types will cover up to age of 84. For example winter sports insurance will only cover up to the ages of 65.
